Many people believe that their opinions are the only necessity
into create their belief or value system, however they fail to realize that
their opinions can sometimes be altered or suppressed by external factors that
they will never point out themselves. The article “My So-Called Opinions” by Zachary
Fine shows questionable things that one might want to ask themselves before
stating their so-called opinions. He points out a general idea of “I like what
I like” and then twist it to get the reader to look deeper into the meaning of
that phrase. What is it about that that make you like it, is it an original
interest or is it falsified by popular belief, would you express this interest
to a public domain, and do you really like it or are you pretending to appease
the crowd. These questions are a series of references the author suggest to the
reader about what they may or may not like depending on how the decide to
answer these questions he had brought fourth. So are they really your opinions
or not. Will you keep the same ideas or not? Is Zachary Fine correct in his
allegations or not. For all we know his article “My so-called opinions” may not
even be his. But all we know as a reader is that we believed our opinions wholeheartedly
until Zachary question those ideas. In conclusion your so-called opinions might
not even be a thought of your own.
